day one down, day two here

Just dropped Lynn off for her second day of school today. I walked her in and sat with her in the kids' chapel until it was time to walk to her classroom. (The school has a half an hour of drop off "window" of time and as they're dropped off they wait in the chapel until school starts at 7:45). Yesterday we got there at 7:45, but today we were about ten minutes early. She slowly warmed up while we were waiting and started comparing bookbags and lunchboxes with another friend from her class that she remembered from yesterday. Well, finally it was time to walk to the classroom and by that point, she was buddy buddy with the new friend. She walked to her cubby and put her stuff away. She didn't look back and I didn't get a hug goodbye. Usually she's a hugger, so I hope I didn't walk away too soon. Yesterday, she grabbed onto my leg so I wanted to leave today while she was interested in something. I didn't want to stick around too long to cause another leg-hugging scene. So, hopefully it's just my mommyness in worrying over one little goodbye and she sat down at the table and dove right in to the day without getting upset over missing me. I missed the hug, though. I hope she's not ready to give those up yet.

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm."(Ephesians 6:10-13)

You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, training them up in God's fear, minding the house, and making your household a church for God as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of Hosts. ~Charles Spurgeon

About Me

I'm the wife (since '01) to a wonderful, creative, honest man who is a former youth pastor (turned banker out of necessity). I'm also the mommy of 4 children: 2 on earth and 2 in heaven. My daughter, "Lynn," was born in 7/2003. I miscarried at 11 wks. in 9/2006. My son, "Nathan," was delivered stillborn at 36 wks. in 5/2008. We welcomed our precious "rainbow baby" "Zane" to our family in 11/2009. Despite the spots of quicksand in my life, I try to live each moment graciously, thankful that God's blessings are abundant! The joy and hope that can be found in Him is amazing and leaves me filled with His peace.
